BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an imaging lens which forms an image of an object on a solid-state image sensor such as a CCD sensor or a C-MOS sensor used in a compact imaging device, and more particularly to an imaging lens which is built in an imaging device mounted in an increasingly compact and low-profile mobile phone and smartphone, a portable terminal device such as PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), an information terminal such as a game console and a PC, and a home appliance.

Description of the Related Art

In recent years, performance of the information terminals has been greatly improved and it becomes common that a camera is mounted in many information terminals including the smartphone. Furthermore, products have been made one after another, such as home appliances with the camera, which have begun to be widespread, and consumer's convenience is greatly improved. Demand of products such as the information terminals and the home appliances with the camera is more increased, and development of products is rapidly made accordingly.

In a conventional art, as an imaging lens intended to be relative compact and to secure high performance, for example, following Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose such imaging lens.

Patent Document 1 (JP-A-2011-141396) discloses an imaging lens comprising in order from an object side, a first lens having positive refractive power, a second lens having negative refractive power, a biconvex third lens, a fourth lens having a meniscus shape with a convex surface facing an image side, and a fifth lens having negative refractive power which is gradually weakened from a center to a peripheral area and positive refractive power at the peripheral area.

Patent Document 2 (JP-A-2012-103717) discloses a single focus optical system comprising in order from the object side, a first group of a first lens having positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side and a second lens having negative refractive power and a concave surface facing the image side and including an aspheric surface, a second group of a third lens having the aspheric surface, and a third group of a fourth lens having positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the image side and a fifth lens having negative refractive power and a concave surface facing the image side and including an aspheric surface having a pole point.

In the imaging lens disclosed in the above Patent Document 1, field of view is about 60 degrees, and recent requirement for the wide field of view is not sufficiently satisfied. There is a problem of aberration correction in the peripheral area therefor.

In the imaging lens disclosed in the above Patent Document 2, F-value is about F2.8, and it is not a bright lens system sufficiently appropriate for the image sensor which is compact and has high pixels. When the bright lens system is obtained while maintaining low-profileness and the wide field of view, there is a problem of aberration correction in the peripheral area therefor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a compact imaging lens with high resolution which realizes low-profileness, low F-value and a wide field of view in well balance, and properly corrects aberrations.

Here, low-profile implies that total track length is smaller than 5 mm, and ratio of total track length to diagonal length is smaller than 0.9, and low F-value implies brightness having F2.4 or less. A wide field of view implies that the field of view is 70 degrees or more which is a range capable of photographing. The diagonal length of the effective imaging plane of the image sensor for showing the ratio of total track length to diagonal length is taken as equal to the diameter of an effective imaging circle whose radius is the vertical height from an optical axis to the point where a light ray incident on the imaging lens at a maximum field of view forms the image on the image plane, namely twice length of maximum image height.

Regarding terms used in the present invention, a convex surface or a concave surface implies that the paraxial portion (portion near the optical axis) of the surface is convex or concave. The pole point implies that an off-axial point on an aspheric surface at which a tangential plane intersects the optical axis perpendicularly. The total track length is defined as a distance along the optical axis from an object-side surface of an optical element nearest to the object side to the imaging plane, when thickness of the optical element such as an IR cut filter or a cover glass located between the last lens and the imaging plane of the image sensor is regarded as an air.

In order to achieve the above object, an imaging lens according to the present invention is to form an image of an object on a solid-state image sensor and comprises in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens having positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side, a second lens having a meniscus shape with negative refractive power and a concave surface facing the image side, a third lens having positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side, a fourth lens having a meniscus shape with positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the image side and a fifth lens having negative refractive power and a concave surface facing the image side as a double-sided aspheric lens. A pole point at an off-axial point is provided on the image-side surface of the fifth lens, a below conditional expression (1) is satisfied:

40<|r6/f|<90  (1)

where f: the focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens, and r6: curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens.

The imaging lens of the above structure has a constitution similar to the so-called telephoto type, and, in order from the object side, has refractive powers, positive, negative, positive, positive and negative. An appropriate refractive power is assigned to each lens and the low-profileness can be provided.

According to the above structure, the first lens has positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side. Having large refractive power enables the low-profileness and the wide field of view to the imaging lens. A shape of the first lens only has the convex surface facing the object side, and may have a meniscus shape with the convex surface facing the object side or a biconvex shape near the optical axis.

The second lens has negative refractive power and the concave surface facing the image side, and properly corrects spherical aberration and chromatic aberration occurred on the first lens. A shape of the second lens only has the concave surface facing the image side, and may have a meniscus shape with the concave surface facing the image side or a biconcave shape,

The third tens has the smallest positive refractive power among the constituent lenses. The third lens has the positive refractive power, and properly corrects spherical aberration and coma aberration which the first lens and the second lens do not sufficiently correct, while maintaining the low-profileness. A shape of the third lens only has the convex surface facing the object side, may have a meniscus shape with the convex surface facing the object side, or a biconvex shape.

The fourth lens has large positive refractive power and convex surface facing the image side. The positive refractive power of the fourth lens is appropriately balanced with the first lens, and the low-profileness and the wide field of view of the imaging lens are provided, thereby astigmatism and field curvature are properly corrected.

The fifth lens has negative refractive power and the concave surface facing the image side, and appropriate back focus is secured. The fifth lens is made as a double-sided aspheric lens and a pole point is provided at an off-axial point on the image-side surface. Thereby, there are effectively carried out correction of astigmatism, distortion and field curvature, and control of Chief Ray Angle to the image sensor.

Conditional expression (1) defines an appropriate range of curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens to the focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens. The conditional expression (1) is a condition for suppressing increase in eccentric sensitivity of the third lens and for properly correcting the spherical aberration and the coma aberration. If the low-profileness of the imaging lens is provided, refractive power of each lens tends to be large, and in addition to the first lens and the second lens near an aperture diameter, the eccentric sensitivity of the third lens may be increased and productivity becomes deteriorated. By defining the range of the conditional expression (1), the refractive power of the image-side surface of the third lens can be appropriately controlled to be relative small, the increase in the eccentric sensitivity of the third lens is suppressed and the spherical aberration and the coma aberration can be properly corrected.

According to the imaging lens of the present invention, it is preferable that a below conditional expression (2) is satisfied:

0.5<(T1/f)*100<3.1  (2)

where f: the focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens, and T1: distance along the optical axis from the image-side surface of the first lens to the object-side surface of the second lens.

The conditional expression (2) defines an appropriate range of the distance along the optical axis from the image-side surface of the first lens to the object-side surface of the second lens to the focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens. The conditional expression (2) is a condition for proper correction of the distortion and the field curvature, and for excellent assembly property of the imaging lens, while providing the low-profileness of the imaging lens. If the value of below the upper limit of the conditional expression (2), an air interval on the optical axis between the first lens and the second lens does not become too large, and there are suppressed difficulty in the low-profileness and increase in the distortion and the field curvature. If the value is above the lower limit of the conditional expression (2), the air interval on the optical axis between the first lens and the second lens does not become too small, and risk of contacting the first lens and the second lens in assembly work can be suppressed.

According to the imaging lens of the present invention, it is preferable that a below conditional expression (3) is satisfied:

If the value of below the upper limit of the conditional expression (3), it is suppressed that the negative refractive power of the second lens becomes relatively small to the positive refractive power of the first lens, and it is advantageous to the low-profileness. If the value is above the lower limit of the conditional expression (3), it is suppressed that the negative refractive power of the second lens becomes relatively large to the positive refractive power of the first lens, and the low-profileness, and correction of axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification are facilitated.

According to the imaging lens of the present invention, it is preferable that a below conditional expression (4) is satisfied:

If the value of below the upper limit of the conditional expression (4), it can be suppressed that the total track length become large. If the value is above the lower limit of the conditional expression (4), the back focus is prevented from being small, and there is suppressed difficulty in sufficiently securing a space for arranging the IR cut filter or the like and in controlling the angle of light ray incident to the image sensor.

According to the imaging lens of the present invention, it is preferable that a below conditional expression (5) is satisfied:

0.6<D4/D5<1.6  (5)

where D4: thickness on the optical axis of the fourth lens, and D5: thickness on the optical axis of the fifth lens.

The conditional expression (5) defines an appropriate range of the thickness on the optical axis of the fourth lens and the fifth lens, and a condition for securing formability of the fourth lens and the fifth lens while providing the low-profileness of the imaging lens. If the value of below the upper limit of the conditional expression (5), it can be suppressed that a center thickness of the fifth lens is too small, and the excellent formability can be secured. The convex surface facing the image side of the fourth lens has the large positive refractive power, and curvature becomes relatively large in comparison with the curvature of the object-side surface. Thereby, the convex surface facing the image side of the fourth lens becomes an aspherical surface which an edge thickness becomes small. If the value is above the lower limit of the conditional expression (5), the edge thickness does not become too small, and the excellent formability can be secured. Herein, the center thickness implies a thickness in an optical axis direction at a center of the lens, namely, a distance between the object-side surface and the image-side surface, and in the present invention, the center of the lens corresponds to the optical axis. The edge thickness is a thickness in the optical axis direction at a peripheral of the lens.

If the value of below the upper limit of the conditional expression (6), it is suppressed that the distortion becomes deteriorated, and a ratio of uneven thickness which is a ratio of the thinnest part and the thickest part becomes large and the formability becomes deteriorated. If the value is above the lower limit of the conditional expression (6), deterioration of the distortion is suppressed, it is also suppressed that the edge interval between the fourth lens and the fifth lens becomes too large, and a spacer for establishing a mechanism will become unnecessary.

According to the imaging lens of the present invention, it is preferable that a below conditional expression (7) is satisfied:

According to the imaging lens of the present invention, it is preferable that a below conditional expression (8) is satisfied:

0.7<ih/f<1.0  (8)

where f: the focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens, and ih: maximum image height.

The conditional expression (8) defines a range of photographic field of view. If the value of below the upper limit of the conditional expression (8), the field of view does not become too large, a deviation from a range capable of properly correcting aberrations is not made, difficulty in correction of aberrations particularly in peripheral area of the image plane is prevented, and deterioration in optical performance is suppressed. If the value is above the lower limit of the conditional expression (8), the wide field of view can be effectively provided, the focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens does not become too large and it is advantageous to the low-profileness.

According to the imaging lens of the present invention, the third lens preferably has the convex surface facing the image side.

When the image-side surface of the third lens is formed as a convex surface, an emitting angle of the light ray emitted from the surface can be small. Thereby, the spherical aberration and the coma aberration which increase in accordance with shortening of the total track length can be properly corrected.

According to the imaging lens of the present invention, it is preferable that a below conditional expression (9) is satisfied:

6<r6/r7  (9)

where r6: curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens, and r7: curvature radius of the object-side surface of the fourth lens.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Hereinafter, the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail referring to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 are schematic views showing the general configurations of the imaging lenses in Examples 1 to 7 according to the embodiments of the present invention, respectively. Since all these examples have the same basic lens configuration, the general configuration of an imaging lens according to this embodiment is explained below mainly referring to the schematic view of Example 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the imaging lens according to this embodiment comprises in order from an object side to an image side, an aperture stop ST, a first lens L1 having positive refractive power, a second lens L2 having negative refractive power, a third lens L3 having positive refractive power, a fourth lens L4 having positive refractive power, and a fifth lens L5 having negative refractive power. A filter IR such as an IR cut filter and a cover glass is located between the fifth lens L5 and an image plane IM, namely the image plane of the imaging sensor. The filter IR is omissible.

The imaging lens comprising the above five constituent lenses has a constitution similar to the so-called telephoto type, and, in order from the object side, has refractive powers, positive, negative, positive, positive and negative. An appropriate refractive power is allocated to each lens and the low-profileness can be provided.

In the imaging lens comprising the above five constituent lenses, the first lens L1 is a meniscus lens having the positive refractive power and the convex surface facing the object side. The image-side surface of the first lens L1 may have a concave surface having curvature radius larger than the curvature radius of the object-side surface within a range which the refractive power is not too lowered and an amount of spherical aberration is not increased, and thereby low-profileness and wide field of view of the imaging lens are provided. The first lens L1 may be biconvex. In such case, the positive refractive power is appropriately allocated to the object-side surface and the image-side surface, and large positive refractive power is provided while suppressing occurrence of the spherical aberration, and further low-profileness and wide field of view of the imaging lens can be provided.

The second lens L2 is a meniscus lens having the negative refractive power and the concave surface facing the image side, and properly corrects the spherical aberration and the chromatic aberration occurred on the first lens L1.

The third lens L3 is a meniscus lens having the positive refractive power and the convex surface facing the object side. The third lens has the smallest positive refractive power among the constituent lenses of the imaging lens. The third lens has the positive refractive power, and properly corrects the spherical aberration and the coma aberration which the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 can not sufficiently correct, while maintaining the low-profileness. A shape of the third lens is not limited to the shape of the present embodiment 1. For example, as shown in Examples 2 to 7 in FIGS. 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13, the third lens L3 has a biconvex shape having the convex surface facing the image side.

The fourth lens L4 is a meniscus lens having large positive refractive power and convex surface facing the image side. The positive refractive power of the fourth lens L4 is appropriately balanced with the first lens L1, and the low-profileness and the wide field of view of the imaging lens are provided, thereby the astigmatism and the field curvature are properly corrected.

The fifth lens L5 has the negative refractive power and the concave surfaces facing the object side and the image side, and appropriate back focus are secured. The fifth lens L5 is made as a double-sided aspheric lens and the image-side surface is aspheric lens which a pole point is provided at an off-axial point. Thereby, proper correction of the astigmatism, the distortion and the field curvature is made, and Chief Ray Angle to the image sensor is controlled in an appropriate range.

The aperture stop ST is located between a vertex of the object-side surface of the first lens L1 and the peripheral area of the surface, and an entrance pupil position goes away from the image surface IM, and securing telecentricity becomes easy.
